Ditching the Dream

Synopsis:

Feeling dead in her marriage, Elizabeth Fairchild ditches the
dream of her seemingly perfect life with her husband in search of who she
really is.

She went from her parents' house to her
husband's home and never really learned to stand on her own two feet. She
decides to leave her comfortable life in Napa Valley in search of her inner
fire in New York City. She certainly didn't leave her husband to find another
man, but she soon finds herself involved with two: Jack Stevens and Kevin
Parker.

Jack is older. He has heart-stopping good looks,
is wildly successful, and is very much in control of everything around him -
especially Elizabeth.Kevin is younger. He is carefree with a heart of
gold and loves Elizabeth's spunk.

While Elizabeth's old life still calls to her,
she also finds what she needs in New York. But which dream will she choose?

Excerpt:

I finished the task of unbuttoning his shirt and brusquely
shoved it back over his shoulders. My lips trailed down, kissing his tattoos.
Across his chest, his shoulder, his bicep…

I dragged my tongue over his salty skin, tracing the tribal
lines that had been permanently inked. Thinking that maybe one day I’d be brave
enough to get a real tattoo.

I pulled my mouth from his tattoos as he lifted my shirt
over my head. Sitting back, letting him look me over, it appeared his breath
stopped.

With renewed vigor, his mouth crashed onto mine as he
hungrily plunged his tongue into my mouth, massaging every inch, making love to
my mouth, his hands caressing my skin. His breath rushed out of him and he
pulled us to standing, before he swept me up into his arms, and marched us to
my bedroom.

The long story:
I've always been a creative sort of person... I started with my college studies
in Advertising Design and Illustration. I'm good at drawing and coming up with
clever ideas.
As for story telling - well, that's where I have the most fun! Ditching
The Dream is my first novel, but I've been working on writing movies since,
what seems like forever. Way back in high school my friend Aimee and I started
writing a movie and I was hooked. We didn't know what we were doing, but we
loved coming up with the story. I also like to come up with stories about
people I don't know. Like the guy that cut me off on the expressway...He had
quite a story - at least in my mind! Who knows? Maybe I've come up with a story
about you! ;)

Ditching The Dream is a story that came to me while I was helping two author
friends of mine. I was helping them with their books and I would make
suggestions to amp up their stories along the way. Bev and Amy encouraged me to
write my own story and Ditching The Dream was born. Is it
auto-biographical? No, not in the least. But it sure has been a fun story to
come up with (especially when my hubby gets involved with coming up with ideas).
